Research Topic: What are the effects of organic fertilizer levels on plant growth?

Preliminary Research Ideas:

1. Entity to study: What type of plant can handle this type of research? What is the care for them?
2. IV -What are the recommended levels of organic fertilizer to be added
3. How do we measure the plant's response to the organic fertilizer?
   1. Qualitative
      1. How can we infer on plant growth by the color of the plant's leaves?
      2. Will the amount of organic fertilizer benefit the strength of the stem
   2. Quantitative
      1. Which level of organic fertilizer will have the most favorable height of the plant (average)?
      2. Which level of organic fertilizer will lead to the highest plant bio mass (average)?
4. Constants
   1. conditions; temperature, amount of light, and water supply
   2. where the research is taken place
   3. type of soil being used
   4. amount of soil being used
   5. type of seeds and how many of them
   6. with the seeds we can control how far the seeds are planted
5. What knowledge, tools, and skills would I need to do the project?
   1. how to take care of plants
   2. what are the usual growth of plants
   3. what are the effects of fertilizer
   4. what are the differences between inorganic fertilizer and organic fertilizer

Connections:
How does the plant respond between the different levels of organic fertilizer (inorganic and organic)?
Which amount of fertilizer will benefit the plants more?
